How do I host my own WordPress blog so I can monetize it?

Question:

I have a wordpress blog. Now, I want to host my own wordpress blog so that I can put adsense on it and monetize it. Please let me know the procedure.

Thanks in advance

Answer:

You’ll need a domain name, good web hosting and a blueprint for monetizing your blog.

Getting a Domain Name

You can either buy your own domain name from a domain name registrar like NameCheap (I use them), or you can get your domain name for free when you purchase a hosting account. I highly recommend buying your own domain name and then linking it to your hosting account. When you buy it, you own it. Click here to read about free domain names.

Good Web Hosting

I recommend iPage for web hosting for your WordPress blog. The iPage control panel is really easy to use and they’ve got a super easy script installer called SimpleScripts that makes installing WordPress as easy as 1-click. Here’s a quick iPage review explaining why I like them so much.

BluePrint for Monetizing

Do you already have an Adsense account? If not, you need to have a pretty good website or blog or you won’t be approved. If you do have an account, congrats! You’re half way there. Most people, and I used to do this too, build sites for Adsense. Google can’t stand those “made for Adsense” sites because they’re poor quality and that cheats their advertisers.

Hope this helps.
